Hi, Already doing Vacuum analize procedure on daily basis. But the pg_dump fails on ONLY one table. That table works normal for other operations. But we are feeling uncomfortable to keep using that table as unable to backup. Can anyone give a hint how to fix the pg_dump issue Thanks Manjula --- Dilipkumar <dilipkumar_parikh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Date: Thu, 06 Jul 2006 20:21:53 +0530 > From: Dilipkumar <dilipkumar_parikh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: manjula hettiarachchi <manjula_55@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: [ADMIN] pg_dump error > > Hi, > > Or try to run vaccum scripts this will help you out. > > manjula hettiarachchi wrote: > > >Hi > > > >How do I optimize? > > > >Thanks in advance > > > >Manjula > > > >--- Dilipkumar <dilipkumar_parikh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > > > > > > >>Hi, > >> > >>I think if the table is too large then try to > >>optimize the table and > >>check it. > >>then you shall try the command mentioned. > >> > >>manjula hettiarachchi wrote: > >> > >> > >> > >>>Hi, > >>> > >>>Thanks for the reply. > >>> > >>>Actually this is the full command i used: > >>> > >>>pg_dump database_name -t tablename -h > 'localhost' > >>> > >>> > >>-U > >> > >> > >>>postgres -Fc > >>> > >>>As this table is too large cannot use the text > mode > >>>dump.
